Infiniti wants you to put your “race face” on.

The company is holding a contest where Twitter and Instagram users can submit their #InfinitiRaceFace for a chance to win a ride in the Q50 Eau Rouge concept with four-time F1 World Champion Sebastian Vettel behind the wheel. The contest will launch today and run until November 2 though entries for the grand prize will be accepted up until October 8.

That’s because the winner will get to ride with Vettel in the 560-hp Q50 Eau Rouge on October 29 in downtown Austin, ahead of the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix. Fans are invited to submit their entries by following @InfinitiUSA on Twitter or Instagram and posting their best “Infiniti Race Face” while using the hashtag #InfinitiRaceFace.

Additional prizes for entrants through November 2 include Infiniti Red Bull Racing apparel. Winners will be determined by the Japanese automaker and judged across a panel of specific criteria, including photo creativity, fitting with the #InfinitiRaceFace theme and the clarity/quality of the image.

Though it hasn’t been confirmed for production, the Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge could cost $100,000 if it hits the market.

Speaking in an interview with Motor Trend, Infiniti President Johan de Nysschen spilled some more details about the Q50 Eau Rouge and what could possibly happen if it gets the green light for production. Currently, the Japanese automaker is considering producing the Q50 Eau Rouge in low volume of 250-500 units a year with only a two-year life cycle. As a result, it could end up being more exclusive than the BMW M3 or Mercedes C 63 AMG.

De Nysschen is not only pushing for the Q50 Eau Rouge to become a reality, but to apply the technology to other models. In other words, we could be seeing up to three different models sporting the GT-R’s powertrain under the hood including a high-end coupe and a luxury four-seater. As for how the concept drives, the company is currently working on shifting speed noting that the car needs a limited-slip rear differential.

Opening the door to speculation, Infiniti unveiled its Q50 Eau Rouge concept during the Detroit Auto Show this week.

Well, sort of. The brand didn’t bother covering the car, so it sat exposed until the second of two press preview days when the brand’s press conference was scheduled. That might have hurt some of its hype, but the concept is nothing to scoff at. If the brand builds it, the angry-looking Q50 will have at least 500 hp and 600 lb-ft of torque.

That power will come from a mysterious engine with forced induction and a V cylinder configuration. It will probably come from one of Infiniti’s corporate partners, which hints at the possibility of a biturbo Mercedes-Benz V8 hiding under the car’s carbon fiber hood. By the way, that bonnet sits a bit higher than usual, which can be taken as yet another hint that there’s an eight cylinder lurking beneath the surface.

Here’s to hoping that Nissan’s recent run of news about plans to build several of its sports-oriented concepts will spread to Infiniti’s plans.
